Jewish Preppers: NASA ... the rocket science folks....

Jewish Preppers?

Some people finding our website may be wondering what is a Prepper and why does it have a religious affiliation? Well the short answer is...A Prepper is the modern day survivalist. It's not (necessarily) a right-wing militiaman preparing for Armageddon in the boondocks of Montana. But better represented by a normal, educated, middle class individual perhaps living in the most urban of cities, preparing themselves physically and mentally for any upcoming disaster, natural or man-made. This could include anything from earthquakes to volcanic eruptions, social unrest to an act of terrorism. Preparations include: food supply, medical supply, weapons supply etc. and the knowledge and skills to use them. Of course, a Jewish Prepper is just a designation for a small niche of the Prepper Community that is of the Jewish Faith. We are non-profit and nonpartisan. Enjoy!

NASA ... the rocket science folks....

This in from NASA: Be prepared for emergencies.

http://www.nasa.gov/centers/hq/emergency/personalPreparedness/index.html

A major initiative has been placed on Family/Personal Preparedness for all NASA personnel. The NASA Family/Personal Preparedness Program is designed to provide awareness, resources, and tools to the NASA Family (civil servants and contractors) to prepare for an emergency situation. The most important assets in the successful completion of NASA’s mission are our employees’ and their families. We are taking the steps to prepare our workforce, but it is your personal obligation to prepare yourself and your families for emergencies.

Listen to Administrator Bolden’s thoughts on why it’s important that we “know our stuff” and “be prepared”.

Be Prepared

Over the past year there has been an emphasis placed on the importance of Family/Personal Preparedness by Administrator Bolden for the entire NASA family. We have developed a set of informational guides designed to prepare you, your families and pets for emergencies.

David grew up a typical Ashkenazic kid in NY. He graduated from a very liberal Liberal Arts college, went to medical school in PA and returned to NYC to do his residency in Internal Medicine. He moved to Seattle in the early 1990's where he fell in love, got married, fell out of love and divorced. In 2007, he joined the USAF as a "Flight Surgeon" where his patients were the pilots and crew of the Air Mobility Command. He separated from the USAF in late 2009. In the early part of the 1990's, he got over his fear of firearms and has been plinking ever since. He has learned that guns are tools, not inhabited by evil nor benign spirits. Like tools, they have been used for good and evil. He slowly learned that Jews have historically been too often at the wrong end of a gun. He considers himself lucky enough to live in a country where his right to self defense is understood to be unalienable and granted by God. David enjoys the feeling of self-sufficiency the same way he enjoys the feeling of being 'covered' by the many other insurances. He can be contacted at: jprepper (at) gmail.com
